And wrong..as usual.

http://jdstone.org/cr/files/pagangodatti...ected.html

Quote:Attis predated Christ. Before and during the years the Christian Gospels were written (from the reign of Claudius, 41 – 54 CE) the Festival of Joy, celebrated Attis' death and rebirth was celebrated yearly in Rome. A Christian writer of the fourth century CE, recounted ongoing disputes between pagans and Christians over the remarkable similarities of the death and resurrection of their two gods. The pagans argued that their god was older and therefore original. The Christians admitted Christ came later, but claimed Attis was a work of the devil whose similarity to Christ, and the fact he predated Christ, were intended to confuse and mislead men. This was apparently the stock answer -- the Christian apologist Tertullian makes the same argument.

Why don't you take it up with Tertullian ( and Justin ) who made the same stupid-assed argument? Hell...they are supposed to be "your boys."
